I do think that the Epic Games store is extremely barebones and lackluster. Replying to deathstroke458 As a forward, im really sorry for derailing the last thread it was just something on my mind. But "negotiate a deal with a publisher to sell through your store alone" is exactly a thing I'd expect a newcomer fighting an uphill battle against first-mover advantage to try (or maybe even need) to do. It may not be an approach to competition you like, and there may be arguments to be made it's unhealthy for the PC gaming landscape as a whole. PC gaming is nice in that there's less hardware exclusivity than in the console world, but storefront exclusivity seems to be a growing thing. You wanna play a Nintendo core game, you need a Switch I couldn't play Horizon Zero Dawn without using Sony's hardware and UI. They haven't succeeded at getting me to actually buy anything yet, though, so they've only managed the foot-in-the-door part! ETA: As for exclusives, well, availability is one of the main axes of competition overall. (I actually find it a bit refreshing not to have that extra layer of to-do list, hah.) So far, their offering awesome free games has me playing in their neighborhood.
If I were a big achievement hound, maybe, but things like that are "nice to have", not crucial, as far as my preferences go. But I find that I don't care enough about what's missing that I'd skip playing things I want to play. Right now their client is very barebones I don't see any reason to spend time in it beyond the clicks it takes to get into the game I want to play, where with Steam I'll browse the store, or chat with friends, or whatever. I'm curious how much of the missing features they plan to catch up with time.
